AMC announced today that it will make its newest drama Halt and Catch Fire, set in the world of technology and the early days of the personal computer, widely available to viewers through AMC’s website before the premiere June 1.

“Halt and Catch Fire is a fun ride through the early days of the PC era, a time when no one could imagine a portable computer weighing less than 15 pounds, let alone one that was a few ounces and doubled as a phone. It’s a perfect show for summer and – given the subject matter – a good fit for Tumblr’s first TV series premiere and AMC’s first social media screening,” said Charlie Collier, AMC President.

The preview will be the first-ever television series premiere on Tumblr and the first time AMC has partnered with a social media platform to premiere a new show.
